Sinfonia Varsovia is a leading Polish symphony orchestra and an ambassador of Polish culture around the world. It was established in 1984 based on the Polish Chamber Orchestra. It has played under the direction of such famous conductors as Yehudi Menuhin, Krzysztof Penderecki and Marc Minkowski, accompanying equally renowned soloists, includin Martha Argerich, Maria João Pires, Nigel Kennedy and Mstislav Rostropovich.

In 2008 Sinfonia Varsovia became an institution of culture of the Capital City of Warsaw. The Orchestra’s scope of operations also entails artistic, educational and music appreciation activities in the widest sense of the term. For years, the orchestra was deprived of its own home. Rehearsals took place in, among others, the Railway Vocational School and in the Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz “Studio” Centre for the Arts in Warsaw. It found its home in Warsaw’s Kamionek district only in 2010.

With the launching of the project, the Sinfonia Varsovia began a process of internal transformation. It is our dream for the institution to become one with its new home, to draw energy from the wonderful space and advanced infrastructure and its own artistic tradition.
